# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Benjamin Britten: War Requiem
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Britten’s 1962 War Requiem is one of the twentieth century’s great musical masterpieces. Composed against the backdrop of the Cold War, and with memories of World War II still fresh, it collides Wilfred Owen’s searing First World War poems with the timeless texts of the Latin Requiem Mass, and Britten responds with music of staggering invention and shattering power. We’ll be joined by numerous choral colleagues and massive orchestral forces for what promises to be an amazing experience in the spectacular acoustic of which Britten himself said “I would rather hear the War Requiem in Ely Cathedral”. This is our most ambitious project ever, and we guarantee a memory to cherish for everyone who is lucky enough to be there.
